32°Availability
Austin Ekeler (concussion) has been placed on injured reserve by the Washington Commanders according to Tom Pelissero.
Fantasy Impact
Ekeler will now be sidelined for at least the next four games for the Commanders after suffering the concussion in Week 11. Fantasy managers can expect Brian Robinson Jr. to lead the Washington backfield attack, with Jeremy McNichols also mixing in on passing downs for head coach Dan Quinn until Ekeler returns.
Austin Ekeler (concussion) is unavailable for Week 12's game against the Tennessee Titans.
Fantasy Impact
To no surprise, Ekeler will be sidelined in Week 12 due to a concussion. He wasn't able to practice all week, and it will be a little while yet before he clears the NFL's protocols. Brian Robinson Jr. is primed for a huge workload in his absence against Tennessee.
Austin Ekeler (concussion) is not practicing for the Washington Commanders Wednesday while still in concussion protocol according to head coach Dan Quinn.
Fantasy Impact
Ekeler suffered the concussion during Washington’s Week 12 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. If the veteran running back is unable to clear through concussion protocols, the Commanders will likely rely on Brian Robinson Jr. (ankle) and Jeremy McNichols against the Tennessee Titans Sunday.
Austin Ekeler suffered a concussion late in the loss to the Cowboys Sunday.
Fantasy Impact
Ekeler was returning a kick late in the fourth quarter and was hit hard and was down on the field for several moments. Prior to his injury, he tallied 22 rushing yards on nine carries and recorded two receiving yards on two receptions.
Austin Ekeler rushed the ball two times for seven yards and caught eight passes for 89 yards in Thursday night's 26-18 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.
Fantasy Impact
Ekeler saw heavy involvement in the passing game on Thursday night. He led the team in targets, receptions, and receiving yards, which led to him having a very good night in PPR formats. This was a weird game for the Commanders, however, and he won't repeat this kind of target share moving forward.
